Viewing Notes

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this, and that was the hacked version on DVD. This is my first time watching the director’s cut which seemed much better and tighter. The cinematography is excellent. The opening shot of the dock jutting out into the water of the lake is great and really sets the tone for the rest of the film.

An inadvertent AIP double feature!
